The problem is that studens were misled about their employment
opportunities and then defaulted on their government backed student
loans when they couldn't get jobs. The ITT training wasn't quite as
rigorous as the US Navy's and neither were their admission standards.


So the choice was ITT or go to school in Kansas? and they picked ITT?


In the good old days, out of state kids had to have at least a minimum
score on either the SATs or what I sort of recall was called the ACT,
plus minimum scores on the Achievement Tests. I don't know what the
requirements are these days. Based upon your writing samples here, you
wouldn't have made the cut back then, and it isn't clear you would have
made it through what we called "Bonehead English." Sorry, Charlie, but
even in Kansas back then, rotten tuna didn't make it in.

I had good enough SAT and ACT numbers to be accepted at American U, U
Md and GW. I just did not have the money.
